Tiivistelmä

The report is a result of collaborative study conducted by Russian and Finnish researchers covering various aspects of reproductive health and family formation. The Reproductive Health and Fertility project aims to provide useful data for solving current health and social problems in the study areas, as well as to increase understanding of the determinants of reproductive health and family formation in general. The survey of St. Petersburg young men is just one of the study instruments. The same questions have been presented to women aged 18-44 years in St. Petersburg and Estonia, and a survey on Estonian men is planned. Most questions have been previously used in Finnish surveys. Various other data collections have been made or are being planned.
